Lourdes Licata

Description

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in International Studies from University of South Florida and a Certificate in Translation (Spanish/English) from the University of California, San Diego Extension. My first career was teaching Spanish as a second language in local middle schools for 15 years. I have been in the translation and interpreting field for more than 17 years.
My interpreting experience is diverse. I am an interpreter for worker’s compensation cases and also actively work as an interpreter for attorney's and insurance companies. I have expertise in depositions, examinations under oath, mediations, as well as experience in medical interpreting and simultaneous conference interpretation.
I have translated all types of documents such as: birth, marriage, and divorce certificates; employment agreement letters; restitution letters; child-welfare case plans; high school diplomas; affidavits; an author-published booklet and more.
I am very detail oriented, a team player, able to work well in a fast-paced environment, and able to multitask and work well under pressure. I have excellent command of both English and Spanish; and I am knowledgeable of the cultural differences. I'm looking forward to collaborate with you in your Spanish/English translation projects.
